This sweet cottage was a bit tricky to locate but the owner helped us along. It was very clean, had everything we needed and more. The beds were comfortable too. My husband and I had a wonderful time there while vacationing at Gulf Shores.

So nice

We loved the cottage! We have stayed at the Rookery several times. This was our favorite cottage we have visited. The decorations were very up to date. Everything was so clean and nice. Jennifer was very easy to get in touch with. I hope we can stay again!

Holiday stay

The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The property manager was very helpful when we had no cell service to get the entry code in our phones. She answered questions very quickly! The neighborhood was nice. We love the Ft Morgan area.

Spring Break Stay

This is the cutest little cottage. If you are looking for a place to retreat from all the noise this is the place. The cottage itself was VERY clean and well stocked with all the amenities you would need to have a comfortable stay. The beds were all very comfortable. It was evident that our hosts put a lot of time and thought into every detail. We would definitely book this cottage again.

Great Vacation!

Our family had a great vacation. Everything was just as was in the pics and more! The amenities they had available made us feel right at home. The place was so charming and comfortable for the whole family! Hello Sunshine is def a place to stay. Our son lost his wallet out and someone else in another cottage found it and messaged him on FB about it. Such a nice little community! We hope to be back!

Just perfect

We walked into the Sunshine cottage with our mouths wide open. It is so cute. Every detail was thought of. The room with the bunks and trundle was bright and cheery for kids. The Master was plush and comfortable. The Queen size bed was beautiful and comfortable. All kitchen supplies were there although we ate out for dinners. We would stay there again-for sure!!!!

We loved Hello Sunshine!

We have stayed in Fort Morgan many other times but this was our 1st time in the Rookery and we will definitely be back! We loved the Hello Sunshine cottage! It was clean, the beds were so comfortable and the kids loved the bunk room! It was one of the only places we’ve stayed that had stuff in the pantry you could use like spices, ziplock bags, sugar, etc! That was a nice surprise! They also had board games that the kids played and books to read! My only suggestion would be to add a clothes line to hang towels on either on the porch or outside somewhere!
